I'd prefer not to proliferate too many newsgropus. Personally I don't
think the nqc traffic is presently so high that people need to filter it
based on target. Odds are that this would even cause a bigger
problem...general stuff posted to a specific target newsgroup, then many
people would miss out on relevant information.

Todd, its your call on this one. Whatever makes administrative sense.
The only concern I'd have over leaving it around is possible confusion
when people try to post to it, or perhaps subscribe to it unaware of the
general group and then get annoyed that nothing ever gets posted. If
there's a way to mitigate this potential confusion, then leaving vs.
archival is a wash in my mind.
